The DioField Chronicle Preview - is this Square's underdog JRPG? | TheSixthAxis

Is there room for The DioField Chronicle amidst all the current JRPG hype? At first glance, it may not stand out from Square’s 2022 lineup, though there are some interesting ideas at play through the demo – available to all from tomorrow, 10th August. Without analysing the game further, you may be inclined to write it off as another Fire Emblem or Final Fantasy Tactics pretender. However, there’s one key difference: a focus on real-time strategy over turn-based battles.

I’ll buy this at some point for my collection at least but strategy RPGs have to be really good for me to like them .
There are some really good ones from time to time .
Fire Emblem Three Houses was great and I’m looking forward to the Tactics Ogre remake/remaster on PlayStation as that’s one of the best all time but they have to be near those games quality for me to like them .
Graphics aren’t the biggest factor for me with these games . It doesn’t have to be big budget to be good . I don’t want Battletoads type graphics I hate that cheap style but mostly anything else.
. Its the combat , characters and their moves/weapons etc and having a very good story that mean the most .
Hopefully it’s a good one as I do enjoy a great strategy jrpg from time time .
It reminds of Fire Emblem a bit of , it looks good so far .

Watched the first 14 mins, it’s like it might be a hidden gem

I've played this game and it has potential to be one of my personal GOAT games.

beautiful presentation, smooth, challenging gameplay so far. if they nail the story/dialogue... easy favourite.

Forspoken being ~15% off 3 days after release is certainly a good sign...

shinoff2183868d ago (Edited 868d ago )

It has a 10 clip off coupon. Relax dude. Done with high on life already. I got horizon zero dawn day 1 for 60 at Walmart near my house. Is that a bad game to

Orchard868d ago

A coupon that only applies to Forspoken. Doesn't work on any other game released this week.

Cool that you're done with HoL, but not sure how that has any impact on Forspoken?

Also, Horizon Zero Dawn's MSRP was $60 at launch... so I'm not sure what your point was there either.

kopp3rbug868d ago

Anything better to write other than the Forspoken sale??? You're literally talking about the same $h17 on another article... move on man...seriously.

Orchard868d ago

Yep well, it's not often we see a game discounted 3 days after launch. But no one is forcing you to read my comments 🤷

FinalFantasyFanatic867d ago (Edited 867d ago )

@Orchard,
That's BS Orchard, and you know it, lots of games get discounted on release day regardless of reviews/sales, this is nothing strange or unusual, nor is it a dire sign, and I don't even think that Forspoken is a good game either. So it probably could use a price drop to push sales considering it's heavily mixed reception.

Pyrofire95867d ago

Amazon, the company who underpriced diapers to run diapers .com out of business, undercutting every other retailer during the launch window of a high profile game.

coolbeans867d ago

For that argument to hold water: Amazon would then be routinely doing this for every high-profile game, which doesn't *appear* to be the case. Your way of thinking about coupons could be right, but it seems to only be utilized for stuff like Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy or Battlefield 2042 at launch.

Orchard867d ago

Dead Space which also launched this week is high profile - it’s sitting at $70 with no coupon.
